Texas Governor George Bush tonight will assume the mantle and the honor of President-elect. This comes 24 hours after a sharply split and, some say, politically and ideologically motivated U.S. Supreme Court ended Vice President Gore's contest of the Florida election and, in effect, handed the presidency to Bush." http://www.mediaresearch.org/rm/projects/01/cbsnews1214/segment1.ram

People used to read a paper or two a day and read the evening news. Now they go to yahoo and goggle and get news feeds directly from Reuters and AP as well as hundreds of other sources. Then if interested, they can do a search and get multiple versions of a particular story. This is the new media where people are no longer forced-fed the liberal bias. Remember the Times and Newsweek knew about Monica's dress but never printed it until it was on Drudge. And the Bloggers reported the Rather memos were forgery within two hours of them being posted. Rather stood by them for two weeks. I think he still does. The news is changing and journalist with a political agenda can no longer hide the truth :) > And so you and I can't talk politics because > you don't believe any sources but newsmax and worldnet and Rush > Limbaugh and I can't stand any of them. First of all, don't tell me what I do or don't believe. Secondly, I find it extremely shallow of you to ignore facts just because you don't like the source. On that note I feel a little Pearl of Wisdom coming on.... "What perspective can you possibly have in an 18 minute newscast where the maximum story is 90 seconds long and it's written by somebody else and there's a formula, and the formula has not been changed in decades, and the formula is based and shrouded in a liberal bias that no matter how they try to change it they're not going to be able to because that's who they are?" "You can always tell -- particularly in television -- who the audience is by watching the advertisers, and when you see hemorrhoid creams and over-the-counter medicines and hearing aids and this sort of stuff advertised you get an idea who is still watching people like Dan Rather." > It's a sad shame.
